The empty utility slot can be changed depending on preference:
 
−
* {{skill|Signet of Agility}} allows you to run full {{tooltip|Berserker stats}} and Mighty Infusions.
 
−
* {{Skill|Prepare Pitfall}}, {{skill|Binding Shadow}} and {{Skill|Shadow Gust}} can all be taken as a strong CC option
 
−
** {{Skill|Prepare Pitfall}} does good damage if you are able to "precast" it during downtime in fights, but takes a short time for the trap to arm.
 
−
** {{skill|Binding Shadow}} has 1200 range and also removes 2 boons, but only affects your marked target.
 
−
** {{skill|Shadow Gust}} is lower CC and has short range, but will also stealth you if used at the right point in your rotation.
 
−
* {{skill|Infiltrator's Signet}} makes initiative recovery easier, and should be used if running {{trait|Be Quick or Be Killed}}.
 
−
* {{skill|Mercy}} could be used as a reset button in case you completely bungle the rotation and end up without initiative. It could also be used on fights where you need to mark targets more frequently than you normally could.

Overview

A Quickness build for Deadeye


Skill Bar

Dagger/Dagger
Utility


Weapon Variants

  • Your DPS rotation only involves Dagger/Dagger so your 2nd weapon set can be based on personal preference - Shortbow for mobility from Infiltrator's Arrow or an offhand Pistol for additional emergency CC from Headshot are both common options. Rifle is also a useful option to maintain damage should you be unable to melee the boss.


Skill Variants

Elite

  • Shadow Meld is recommended if you have doubts about yourself, your lag, or your Quickness Quickness provider.
  • Basilisk Venom if you need CC
  • Thieves Guild for maximum damage.

General Tips

  • Shadow Flare has a long cast time and it will be interrupted by Cloak and Dagger if you use it too early, so make sure to finish the cast.
  • Below 50%, if the boss is about to phase, you can use up any excess initiative by spamming Heartseeker - Just make sure to leave yourself enough initiative for Cloak and Dagger if you will also have time for another Malicious Backstab! Above 50%, Heartseeker is lower DPS than the auto chain.
  • This rotation is susceptible to lag. If this is likely to be a problem, Shadow Meld can be used to re-enter stealth in the event that you are revealed before before you can use Malicious Backstab.


Break bars

  • Basilisk Venom should be cast while you are standing in melee range of 5 allied units (mesmer illusions, ranger pets and necromancer minions all count towards this).


Encounter Specific Tips

Spirit Vale

Ghost events Toggle

The ghost events are mostly movement based.

  • Consider equipping a Short bow, and/or using Shadowstep.

For more information, see our Spirit Woods Guide.

Gorseval the Multifarious Toggle
  • During the split phases, you can use Dancing Dagger to cripple spirits from 900 range.

For more information, see our Gorseval Guide.


Salvation Pass

Slothasor Toggle
  • You have no way of blocking Slothasor's fear so either rely on others to break/cleanse it for you or use Mercy. This can also be used to recover from disruption caused by the Slublings.
  • Bringing CC will be very helpful.
  • A Rifle can be useful for moments where you cannot melee the boss.

For more information, see our Slothasor Guide.

Matthias Gabrel Toggle
  • Use Heartseeker for mobility around the room.
  • Bringing one of the CC options will be very helpful.
  • A Rifle can be useful for moments where you cannot melee the boss.
  • Basilisk Venom is somewhat unreliable as your allies may still be targeting Matthias instead of the sacrifice.

For more information, see our Matthias Guide.


Stronghold of the Faithful

Keep Construct Toggle
  • Unless you really need the CC, you can greed for damage with Thieves Guild.

For more information, see our Keep Construct Guide.

Twisted Castle Toggle
  • Consider equipping a Short bow, and/or using Shadowstep.
  • You can use Mercy as a stunbreak.

For more information, see our Twisted Castle Guide.


Bastion of the Penitent

Cairn the Indomitable Toggle
  • This fight has no breakbar, bring Thieves Guild or Shadow Meld.

For more information, see our Cairn Guide.

Mursaat Overseer Toggle
  • This fight has no breakbar, bring Thieves Guild or Shadow Meld.

For more information, see our Mursaat Overseer Guide.

Samarog Toggle
  • Bringing CC option will be very helpful.

For more information, see our Samarog Guide.

Deimos Toggle
  • The breakbar in this fight is too fast and too small for Basilisk Venom, so you can bring Thieves Guild or Shadow Meld instead.
  • A Rifle can be useful for moments where you cannot melee the boss.

For more information, see our Deimos Guide.


Hall of Chains

Dhuum Toggle
  • This fight has no breakbar, bring Thieves Guild or Shadow Meld.
  • A Rifle can be useful for moments where you cannot melee the boss.

For more information, see our Dhuum Guide.


Mythwright Gambit

Conjured Amalgamate Toggle
  • Basilisk Venom is overkill for breaking shields, so you can bring Thieves Guild.
  • Given the speed at which the arms slam down, Mercy can be used to ensure you can mark them.

For more information, see our Conjured Amalgamate Guide.

Twin Largos Toggle
  • Bringing CC will be very helpful.
  • A Rifle can be useful for moments where you cannot melee the boss.

For more information, see our Largos Assassins Guide.


The Key of Ahdashim

Cardinal Adina Toggle
  • A Rifle can be useful if you're being made to do pillars.

For more information, see our Adina Guide.

A conceptually simple, if fast-paced rotation. The might generation gives this build some value, and the damage is decent, but it offers almost no utility outside of its basic boons.
